poisonous...... ARGH>........

 

sian....... sian.......

WZ.... how u feel vs ur S10? hahahahahha

 

YZ, not WZ la. say so many times liao

 

Btw, hard to compare with s10. Different kind of bike.

S10=Feel shiok with the power, tall n confident ride. NCX=Feels very nimble, easy to handle, smooth n tame.

 

On one hand i miss my s10 torque n height, on the other hand, i really appreciate how easy the nc rides..

2) hugger

3) fender extender

4) hand guard

6) big foot

7) BM grip

did consider the xclusiv but the material use is just 0.7mm I think very thin

btw not sure wat you mean by radiator guard, do you mean radiator mesh grill! those aluminium netting type ?

Ride safely bro. Read the forum and it took him 8 weeks to get the repairs done.

[bitx]

Hi guys, can I confirm if the DID chain have the word japan stamped on it as well? I remember seeing theDID word but not the JAPAN word on the chain.

[kmjoe]

now my other concern is with the other "mods" on the bike, will they entertain the recall warranty or make excuses that we are not allowed to install anything

Big foot - an accessories add on the side stand to enlarge the base of contact on ground

 

As for BM grip is actually BMW handle grip

If the recall is on chain only, they shouldn't check other parts of the bike. But if the recall is on engine and there are modification done on the engine, they might void the engine warranty. The good thing is that add-ons that improves riding safety like changing horn and 12V socket for GPS are fine, this is through my conversation with Mr Toh from BS.

 

So what are your 'mods', share leh

There are equivalent ones which looks exactly the same..

But the material and cutting slightly diff.

BMW grips.. slightly softere.. thus dampen the vibes...

Has contours..... so when numbness starts.. u shift u grips further out or in to promote blood circulation..( when most of the time when touring )

FOr this bike is parallel twin so vibes not that bad...... still

its a worthy investment..

 

Anyone going for bar riser as well?

Yes, i have done BMW grips and riser for the NCX.. Have tired to rise the handle bars to 40mm.. and back to 30mm.. trying to get more comfy ride position..

[Pizzaboy]

I feel dat oem grips by manufacturer tends to get sticky when travellin on longer trips esp when ridin bare hands. With bmw grips i dun experience such issue. I dun hv sweaty palms.

[whyzee]

DIY for today!
